Lexi Cullen 🃏

Chapter 28

"Where the fuck have you been?!"

I rested my forehead against the door, with my back to Bella. I felt debilitated and misery with a headache on its way too from Bella's tone. I groaned in agony.

"Can you look at me when I'm talking?" She spun me around, immediately softening her facial expressions and body language. "Jesus, what happened to you?"

"Took care of a business."

"What business?"

I stood up straight, "Let's just say, Austin will not be interfering with us anymore."

She sighed, "What did you do?"

"I killed him." I smiled.

She raised her eyebrows, "You killed him?"

"Why does it sound like you're finding it hard to believe?"

"I just .... he's actually dead?"

"Yep. Now if you'll excuse me, I need a nice hot shower and to rest because I am in agony." I smiled before making my way to the bathroom.

I did as I said and put on the shower, I pulled out some comfortable clothes and placed them on my bed along with underwear.

I then stripped down and stepped slowly into the tub, turning the water on high and letting it beat over my head in steamy rivulets. Closing my eyes to the water as the heat soaks into my skin. I lean against the cool tiles as my weak legs threaten to buckle, my mind fades into dullness and everything is a foggy illusion. The sensation of the steamy water calms me; it takes my mind off things. All the things I honestly don't care about. It's the water. My mind swirls, and it's like I'm standing under an everlasting waterfall. Ever so beautiful, but it can never last, I know that now.

I bathed my skin lightly, taking careful notice not to touch the bruises that scattered around my body. After my shower time was finished, I wrapped a gown around my body and slumped onto my bed. I took a deep breath, reliving the previous moments over and over.

I couldn't be bothered to get dressed, I just wanted to rest in this position I was in. It was comfortable. Before I knew it, the darkness consumed me.

***

Slowly and reluctantly, I uncover my face. I blink, close my eyes, and blink again. Streaks of sunlight penetrate the window and blind me. I sit up, drag my feet off the bed, and rub my knuckles into my eyes. I stretch my arms above my head and yawn. I watch my legs dangle above the off-white polyester carpet. I looked down at my figure, realising I was still in my gown. I put on the clothes I set out before and hanged up my gown. I checked the time,

6:47 pm

I had slept quite a while, all that energy I had consumed had really tired me out. I made my way downstairs, greeted mainly by the family but also asking how I was and if the situation with Austin earlier is true. Speaking about it reminded me back to the event, I had to ask myself many times if it was true too.

I walk into the kitchen, there's no-one in here. Immediately, I hear sounds, whispering in my left frontal lobe - faint voices that I couldn't understand. The muffled whispers come from the refrigerator. Of course, I investigate. I am greeted by a cheery light as I open the friendly door, and feel that pleasant wave of coolness. Now, the voices were clear;

Eat me, Lexi.

I looked over at the chocolate covered cake that was placed at the back of the fridge. Was it really talking or was I imagining it because I was hungry? I instantly licked my lips anyways and I took out the cake. I placed it on the plate I had set out. Giving it an experimental bite, I was surprised to find how easily the spongy layer gave way to teeth and nearly gasped when my taste buds practically sang under the tangy flavour it was assaulted under as chocolate oozed into my mouth. Almost immediately it was followed up with a nutty crunch from what I could only guess were thinly sliced almonds. It was unlike anything I had ever tasted before.

"Why are you moaning at the cake?"

I snapped back to reality and looked up at Renesmee, who was leaning against the doorframe.

"Because it's delicious?" I stated in an obvious tone.

She shakes her head and chuckles, "Esme made it."

"Then you can understand why I'm moaning at it, she's good at cooking cakes." I laughed.

She chuckles, again. "Yeah true, anyways I came to tell you that Seth is here for you."

I put away the leftover cake into the fridge and cleaned up my mess. "Okay, thanks." I quickly rushed to the living room where Seth was sat on one of the sofas.

"Hey, Le-"

I immediately grabbed his hand and dragged him all the way to my room. Closing the door once we were inside.

"Are you okay?"

"Seth be quiet."

My lips brush his. Not innocently, like a tease but hot, fiery, passionate and demanding. In this minty moment, I knew his senses have been seduced and he can no longer think straight because of his right-hand drops to my thigh, pulling down the shorts. I couldn't move even if I tried, as his fingers have short-circuited my mind in the best possible way. He turns us around and we tumble to my bed, his eyes searching mine. I smile and kiss him back as he knew I would. With my lips, I feel his mouth stretching wider than it should, fighting between a grinning and kissing.

Every kiss has a raw intensity - breathing fast, heart rates faster. Then before I know how it happened we are naked on my bed and our skin is moving softly together, like the finest of silk. I feel his hand enter from below moving fast, our tongues entwined in a kiss, and then he's inside, changing my breathing with every thrust, hearing my moans timed to his body. Then all at once he stops and kisses from my breasts to my stomach, his hands light; then he's licking and using his fingers all at once, watching my reaction, feeling how my legs move, watching my body writhe.

Everything in this moment felt good, it was something I was desiring for and it couldn't have been any better. Especially with Seth.
